String Theory

This might seem like a crazy theory, you need to know the other dimensions of String Theory and how they interact together before things start to get interesting. I'll skip the 3 known dimensions because everyone with 5 or more brain cells already knows what they are, let's focus on how fascinating and possible this could be. This is just my simplified explanation of these, I highly suggest you research this theory with an open mind. The other dimensions aside from the 3 we know of are as follows. Time is the 4th dimension The Probability of other Universes existing is the 5th dimension  All possible Universes branch out from the same starting point. For example if our universe came from the big bang then all other universes were created under the same conditions.This is the 6th dimension.  All possible spectrums of Universes with different start conditions is the 7th dimension. Meaning there's a universe where Gravity repells instead of attracts, a Universe where fire is c

Development Disquisitions 1: Three Main Views on Globalisation

Globalization and its major viewpoints. The thesis of ‘Globalisation’ is a tricky term to explain due to its elusiveness however, Modelski believes that “globalisation is a historical process which is characterised by a growing engagement between peoples on all corners of the globe” (2003). There are three main views on Globalisation which include Hyper-globalisation, Sceptic and Transformationalist. Hyperglobalists, also known as global optimists, insist that globalisation is occurring now and local cultures are being eradicated due to the increase of international capitalism. They believe that globalisation is a positive action (hence their given nickname ‘global optimists’) because it is characterised by economic uplift, high prosperity and the spread of democracy. Followers of this view see globalisation as “bringing about a denationalisation of economies through the establishment of transnational networks of production, trade and finance” (Held et al, 2000). The core of this view
